Ha I'm back that's right boom

The air was cold. Being tied to a flying staff wasn't as fun as I thought it was.
"So what's your name?" The Golden Guard asked.
"Why should I tell you?" I hissed. I need to think of a plan...

"It's a long flight, might aswell make conversation"

Did I go that far...?
"..call me (Y/N)" I sighed

"(Y/N) huh? Nice..." he mumbled

"What's yours?"

"Confidential"

"What a weird name" I grinned.

"Wh- i- No that's not what i-" he sighed. "Never mind"

I giggled. Messing with this guy was fun. But I have to get away. "Hey can we land for a bit? I uh...have to go-" I reluctantly said. "Wh- NOW? You have to go right now?" He looked back at me. "Seriously!?"

I nodded as he sighed, the staff lowering to the ground. "I'm keeping you tied-"

"But I how am I supposed to go without my arms? Can't just pop a squat with my pants on-" I commented.

The GG groaned as we landed. "Go. And if you run. I will find you.." he growled, the ropes dispersing. I nodded, "Thank you!" I walked a couple feet away from him before going behind a tree... I drew a circle and an illusion was set off of me running. The guard saw the illusion and yelled, getting on his staff to fly after it. Once he was gone, I was gone.

I finally got to my camp after walking for some hours. I sighed and collapse on my makeshift bed. Oh my goosshhh it felt so nice to finally sit down! I sighed as I looked up at the stars. So bright and pretty...I wish I were a star.

I lied down, closing my eyes. Today has been kinda eventful... I got good money, met the Golden Guard. Ran from him...pretty good.

I yawned as I turned on my side, drifting to sleep the night away...

The sun started rising, marking a new day. Birds and other creatures started chirping and making sounds, waking me up. I open my eyes, only to squint at something shiny...someone was standing there, looking over me. It sounded like they were out of breath...

I rubbed my eyes a bit, opening them more. It was the Golden Guard. His white cloak was dirtied, a little torn too. Was he searching for me all night?

I grinned at him, "Well I hope you're here to apologize" I smugly say, rolling on my side. That's when he grabbed my ankle and started dragging me. Wait- "WAiT- nononononono!"

"YoU- WILD WITCH- are under ARREST for the practices of wild magic, AND LEAVING ME OUT THERE ALONE ALL NIGHT!!" He huffed, tired of my crap

"Wait! No! Sorry! I'm not old enough to go to prison!" I whined. The Golden Guard stopped and dropped me. He kicked my side just to roll me over and handcuff me. "I don't care!" He growled, picking me up. Wow he's strong...
He held me over his shoulder so I wouldn't run.

"Wait wait! What if I joined a Coven! I can be useful! I could do something! I can't get arrested! Not now!"

"Should've thought of that earlier!"

"I'm only 16! I haven't even graduated Hexide yet!"

He stopped. "You're what?"

"Im...not a graduate?"

"No- the other thing."

"I'm...16?"

The guard paused to think for a moment. He sat me on his staff, tying me to it so I wouldn't fall, and got on himself. We flew in silence all the way to the heart of the Titan.
I panicked. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna get petrified and DIE. I don't want to die yet. Not yet! I still have so many years ahead of me!

I sat there, thinking of every terrible thing that could happen to me..

Soon we got to the castle, the Golden Guard walking me down the hall. I kept my head down...

He brought me to a room and told me to stay there as he left...

I looked around the plain ol boxed room... boring..  I sighed, sitting by the wall. I stared at the ground. I'm gonna die...
They'll toss me in prison, I'll wait maybe a week, and they'll petrify me... I'll just be a pretty statue in a garden...

My thoughts kept going til the door opened again... the Golden Guard came back with two other guards. He knelt infront of me and held his hand out. "Give me your arm"

"Why- what are you going to do?"

"Just- ..just do it" He sighed. I hesitated before holding out my arm... he grabbed my wrist and turned it around so my palm was facing up. The guards then pulled a Coven stick out, bringing it close. My eyes widened.

"W-WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I tried pulling myself away, but his grip was strong. "You wanted to join a Coven, so you get this one" He said as they pressed the marking up against my wrist. I winced, tears swelling up. I never actually wanted this! I just wanted to be free! Be myself!
"noNONONONONONONONO" I started shaking my head rapidly, kicking as I screamed. But no matter how badly I wanted this to be a dream...it was real. And it was done. I'm now apart of the Emperors coven...
